The following is the statistical report of
the State Secretary, from October "a, 1886,
to June 5, 1887:
New Associations. I; auxiliaries organ
ICED, l; addresses on Association work %;
meetings conducted, 81; gospel addresses,
IL; requests for prayer, 90; anniversaries
attended. l; parlor conferences attended. 3;
business calls on Association work, 1896;
miles travelled, 5000. Attended the District
convention at Pomona, the International
Convention at San Francisco, and the Gen.
eral Secretaries Conference at Oakland.
Seven months NEARLY have been spent in
Southern California Assisted in raising
for current expenses, $500. Definite
work for young men has been emphasized
and meetings for Men Only instituted in
every Association. Assisted in raising for
building funds, ST., 900.
There are 300, 900 young men in Califor-
MIA, and only twenty-nine Associations at
present working for their highest welfare
There are forty-five towns of over 1900 in
habitants, each of which ought to have
Associations. Secretaries are needed. Rail
road work should be commenced. In the
College Department six new Associations
need help. An additional State Secretary
is urgently needed. The office work of the
State is now so extensive that two days in
each week are needed to attend to it, There
| is no Association north of this city nearer
| than Portland, Or, or east nearer than
Salt Lake City. 1t will thus be seen there
is wide field for the Association to
occupy"
A liberal collection was taken in aid of
the State work, and it will doubtless be
supplemented bv private subscrintions.
